Reader Corinne emailed me about the nautical matches I featured on the blog in this post. The original photo is from Real Weddings (Australia). No source is given for the matches. They were part of a wedding featured in a 2009 issue.

Corinne was looking for nautical matches. I had a hard time finding alternatives but I did find a few. If you have seen any nautical match books that can be ordered/customized for weddings and parties please let me know!

I first heard about Voy Voy Clothing from Carly of the College Prepster. I was intrigued but forgot to bookmark the site. I thought my dad and brother in law, both tricky to shop for, would love these shirts! Recently I received an email from Hank at Voy Voy about their East Coast Islander Signature shirts they are hoping to launch in the spring (see mock up at bottom of post).

My readers have sent me some very creative nautical Halloween costume ideas over the years and I have loved featuring them as part of Nautical Outfit of the Week. Don't forget to send me a photo of your nautical costume and you can be featured too!

Here are some ideas for your Halloween:

Caroline and her boyfriend. She was a lobster in a pot and he was a game of battleship!

Charlotte and her boyfriend. Charlotte was a sailor and her boyfriend was a macho sailor/Popeye with huge fake muscles that had an anchor and mermaid tattoo!

Sydney (from Sunshine in the City), Anthony, and Blair (the lobster) at the Park Slope Halloween Parade:

I am currently working on redoing my bathroom. It's small so I won't be adding that much but a couple of new pieces can make a big difference. I have chosen the first of two prints I want to hang (#1 in this post) and bought a new bath mat from the Company Store. I've been browsing Pinterest for inspiration. Here are some current favorites:

Did you catch Nolan's very nautical party on Revenge (NOT last night's episode but the week before)? It was so over the top nautical that I just had to rewatch and take photos. My sister's TV is much bigger than mine so during Baby Nautical's nap this weekend I made my very own screen caps! I haven't watched last night's episode yet so the photos below are only spoilery if you have not watched the episode from October 13 ("Confession").

I saw the invitation and knew this was going to be the nautical party

Just look at Nolan's outfit. Overboard in a good way or no?

I love the girl in the yellow dress and navy sweater around her shoulders. She fits in perfectly with the navy, yellow, white color scheme
